Yes, that's how I do it. So far I never use the HSA to pay directly. Just take the money out from you HSA account. Be sure to keep all the receipts.

Same here. We pay for office visits, Rx, hospital, pathologist, anesthesiologist, etc, with rewards card. I have a checkbook for the HSA account and deposit a check to my local credit union to cover the credit card if needed.

Most years I don't take reimbursement if the bills have been small, I just let them add up.

What are the CC fees you're referring to? Most hospitals dont charge a fee to accept credit cards.

I wasn't sure if there would be any convenience fees similar to those charged by some utility companies to process a credit card. Its good to know there aren't any.

The hospital where I live takes credit cards, and gives a 10% discount if you pay within 30 days. I guess it's because so many people don't pay at all.

Taking the reimbursement generates another tax form to deal with.

L4MCInteresting - I wasn't aware that a reimbursement made a tax consequence at all.

Actually, I worded that wrong. If you contribute to a Health Savings Account you have to complete IRS Form 8889 Part I, if you take a distribution you complete Part II.

Yes. With ours (e-flex now, and ceridian before), they send you a credit card, but you dont have to use it. Just pay with your rewards card, ask for a detailed bill, or wait for the EOB, and then send the EOB. I can scan it and do all the submissions online. I just accumulate them towards the end of the year, but payoff the reward card every month.
